This document provides an introduction and overview of the "Research Guide for Jehovah's Witnesses - 2014 Edition". It explains that the guide is designed to help Jehovah's Witnesses search for answers to Bible questions and personal concerns by providing references to relevant information in Witness publications from 2000 onward. It provides instructions on how to use the guide, including reviewing the table of contents and index to find topics, and then locating cited articles and chapters. The document encourages patience when searching for "hidden treasures" of understanding.
2. Introduction
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PUBLICATION
Jehovah God urges his people to “keep searching” for understanding and discernment as
though they were looking for “hidden treasures.” (Prov. 2:1-5) This means that we need
to exert ourselves in searching for answers to our Bible questions and in finding help for
our personal concerns in life. This Research Guide for Jehovah’s Witnesses is designed
to assist you in your search.
This is not a comprehensive index that lists every subject that has been discussed in each
of our publications. However, for each topic that is listed, there are references to current
and relevant information in publications that have been produced in English, primarily
from the year 2000 onward.
HOW TO START YOUR SEARCH
Look at the Table of Contents on the next page, and decide which subject would most
likely contain the information that you want. You may need to look under more than one
subject to find it. The subheadings listed under each subject will help you to refine your
search.
Next, go to the page number that is shown and find the subject and subheading that
you selected. From the titles of the articles and chapters that are listed there, select the
ones that you want to review. If the publications are available to you at home,
electronically, or in your Kingdom Hall library, find the article or chapter that is cited.
Keep in mind that even if the title of an article may not seem to fit under the selected
subject, the article listed will contain information about that subject. In addition to the
Table of Contents, you will find an alphabetical index of topics at the back of this
publication.
Remember, you are searching for “hidden treasures,” which take time and effort to find.
So be patient in looking for the specific answer or direction that you are seeking. The
more you use this Research Guide, the easier and more enjoyable it will be for you to
find the information that you need. Jehovah will reward your efforts and help you to find
wisdom and understanding.—Prov. 2:6; 4:5.
